Morgan Schneiderlin could be leaving Southampton this summer and has attracted interest from Arsenal, according to the Telegraph.
France international Schneiderlin is Arsenal's No1 midfield target this summer but the Saints have begun contract talks to try to tie him down to St Mary's.
Even if Schneiderlin doesn't sign a new deal, they will slap a £25million-plus price-tag on his head to try to scare off potential suitors, which would mean only the likes of the Gunners and Manchester United from the interested parties could afford him.
Schneiderlin, 25, has got two more years left on his current contract and Southampton are ready to make him their top earner on around £60,000-a-week.
Schneiderlin was on Wenger's radar last summer but Saints made it clear they did not want to sell, and resisted several approaches from Tottenham.
With Champions League on offer, Arsenal are the clear favourites to seal Schneiderlin's signature this summer.
